Vel Phillips Forum: What is Happening with DEI in Our Schools? HYBRID EVENT - Register to attend In Person or Virtually

Co-sponsored by Glendale River Hills School District, Break the Silence in the Burbs, Wisconsin Education Law & Policy Hub, Suburbs for Equality, Germantown Community Coalition, Bay Bridge, People Advocating for Greendale Equity (PAGE), UWM Students for a Democratic Society, From the Same Dust: A Baha'i Group, Tosa Together, and the Milwaukee Turners. 

What is Happening with DEI in Our Schools? For students, teachers, families, and folks who care about equity in our community. DEI efforts are under attack in our schools. Long-term systemic racism must be countered by long-term systemic anti-racism that lifts up and collaborates with marginalized people. Societies are stronger, richer and more resilient when they respect, value and learn from diverse cultures, knowledge, experiences, and ideas.
